Metal Work: Custom made adapters in Aus?

[xnomad]

Hi,

Long story short (long story included below for the curios) I need to get someone to make me a custom adapter. Is there anyone in Aus that you can recommend? Ideally it would be someone local (Sydney) that I can go see as I don't want to send away parts of my scope and not see them for months. I found: http://moggadapters.com.au/astro/adapter.asp whilst Googling but can't figure out if he's in Aus or US and if you can visit him.

Long Story Version:
I got myself a crayford focuser for my Mak Cas a week or two ago and managed to attach it to the eyepiece barrel with a SCT to 2" eyepiece barrel converter. This works fine except for one miscalculation/oversight. The adapter, the eyepiece barrel, the focuser and my diagonal make a long long heavy connection to the back of my Mak. This results in the wobbles at high mags that are more annoying than the image shift I tried to overcome by buying a crayford . This is why I want to eliminate some of this with a custom thread adapter.

For the ultra curious my previous post on SCT adapters and my Mak:

Steven Mogg is in Australia. If you contact him, you should be able to work something out.

You can also try Luke Bellani at www.starstuff.com.au, although he is in Melbourne.

Ashley at Precise Parts in Miami is good but expensive. He knows all the correct spacings.

I think Mogg use Delrin ( a strong plastic) and may not do metal but ask him in case I got that wrong.
